Beating Real Madrid has got to be one of the easiest things I've seen with my eyes this season. Clubs Atalanta are currently better than dis this so I'm not to be boggled or bothered if I eventually see this happening.
Talks of Kylian Mbappe losing confidence makes me laugh, he never lost confidence, things have not just worked well for him immediately he joined the biggest club in the world. If feels good to see him scoring and making little progress regardless regardless.

I'm not going to tell you no, because it's true, Madrid is going through one of the worst moments in the league this season, however they are recovering, I hope that with Atlanta they do better because they need to, in fact it would be a great shame if Madrid couldn't get through the phase, but the line-up they have now is very weak, I don't know why Ancelotti has made it difficult for himself, on the bench they have practically a complete team that is very capable, perhaps he hasn't managed to get the best combination, I hope he finds it worse than they are about to leave.

I think Ancelotti should take a risk by not playing Mbappe first, in a match as important as this a small mistake can be fatal, therefore I am a little doubtful that the attacking line is entrusted to Mbappe for now, I prefer Endrick and Arda, Mbappe wasted too many chances in the previous match, indeed he has not adapted well but as I said this match is important. I hope Ancelotti does not make a mistake in implementing his tactics.

Why are most people admonishing kylian Mbappé, he is the only one that has the magic touch on the front line, seconded by Jude Bellingham, Endrick and Arda don't have that much of experience compared to Mbappé and Bellingham, maybe they can come in towards the middle of the second half to test there own strength. However Atalanta are very solid at the moment, and Madrid doesn't need to handle the game with kid gloves despite the fact kylian Mbappé hasn't been at his best lately. We wouldn't even be going this far in search of better front liners if Vinicius junior was available.

I believe the most-watched match will be Atalanta vs Real Madrid, but personally, I'll be tuning in to Bayer Leverkusen vs Inter Milan. In my opinion, both teams have the potential to make it at least to the semifinals of the tournament.

The Atalanta vs Real Madrid match will indeed get more attention and of course there will be more people watching it than other matches. Because everyone is curious about Real Madrid's performance this season. And today's match is also a very important match for Real Madrid because Real Madrid must win if they still hope to have the opportunity to go further in the UCL. because if Real Madrid fails to beat Atalanta then I think Real Madrid will even have difficulty staying in the play-off zone.

But for the opening match in this round, I think the Girona vs Liverpool match will also be very interesting. Although I am quite sure Liverpool will secure full points again through this match.

Still need adaptation so that Mbappe can play more compactly with the team and especially the combination of the front line so that it can be more solid. Mbappe's performance is not too bad even though there are some weaknesses that Ancelloti has not been able to overcome and the position of Vinicius with him, which until now has not found a suitable formation. Mbappe was bought at a very expensive price and it would be a big loss if he was benched because Ancelloti should have found a solution to this problem.

Mbappe came to Real Madrid with free agent status or a free transfer even though Real Madrid also had to pay a fairly high contract fee and salary, meaning that Mbappe is only expensive in terms of salary and contract value, not in terms of transfer fees. But for this time because considering the opponent that Real Madrid will face is the top of the Serie A standings, of course Ancelotti must put his mainstay players who are still fit in the right positions so that there is fierce competition in the match later.

i don't see a good reason to play with the main squad against Girona. Liverpool to has to rest a lot of its key players, but after i was hearing Slot's press, he may still perform with like 75% of his main squad. That's fine as long as he rests his key players like Salah and Diaz. Girona is a weak team to play with, and no need to feel worry against them with secondary squad.

Also, Liverpool has secured a place in the R16. I don't even see urgency for them to use their main squad. I don’t see the point not to give minutes to Elliott, Endo, and Chiesa. if they’re up, let them to take a part in this game.

Liverpool is currently in pole position for the Champions League and Premier League with this surely they can rest their few top players and also try to bring their bench players which will be good for them as they will be taken experience and confidence but still I have strong feeling they will go all the way and never drop points because this will give them good motivation for the rest of this season where they are taking good advantage of their quality and consistency.

Currently, many clubs are suffering due to injuries, and they are trying to keep balance into their squad so it's important for Arne Slot as well with coming days are going to be more challenging while we will be having more tough matches with good pressure on players and coaches as well so hopefully their strategy will be keep them on good run.

There are only two matches that I will bet on Matchday 6, namely the Girona-Liverpool and Atalanta-Real Madrid matches. Even so, I chose the special option to get bigger odds and I think that option is good enough to bet on. I think Liverpool will win their 6th match again because their opponent is a club that is weaker than Real Madrid. And for the Atalanta-Real Madrid match, I am actually a little hesitant to choose between the two, but I think choosing both is a good choice, but I am worried that the final result will be a draw.

The game of Atlanta against Real Madrid will be very tough because Atlanta is in good shape this season in both the Champion League and Interlian League, Real Madrid, on the other hand, has not been playing well in the Champion League and La Liga League this season and Real Madrid will take this match very important to have a point in other to be able to Qualify for Champion League next stage if Real Madrid loses this game against Atlanta it will be very difficult for them to qualify for champion league next round.

Real Madrid and Atlanta played in Super Cup and Real Madrid won the match by scoring two goals but Atlanta's current performance is better than when Real Madrid played against them in the Super Cup and it will be very difficult to defeat Atlanta in their stadium, no one can predict this match has both teams will want to win the match, but in this Match Real Madrid will want to win the match by all means.

That's true, Atalanta is definitely doing great and that is going to be a tough period for Real Madrid. However, just because of the position real is in, I still believe that Real will win this game without much trouble, they should be able to get a win here. I get why we are seeing what we are seeing at the moment, but that doesn't mean that we are going to lose much, it is going to be quite good for us to have a better approach to the game.

I believe the biggest problem we have at the moment is focusing on the wrong thing, and that's the key here. I get that it is going to be a great period for Real Madrid if they can get a win here, and if they can get a win here then they are going to go to next stage. They are almost getting the lead back in la liga as well, so all that bad period they had would be looking like it never happened because it would have no consequences, not bad ones at least. This is why I believe keeping this going for a long time without a doubt.

Today tough matches are 2 namely Leverkusen vs Inter and Atalanta vs Madrid while the rest of the big teams are still certain to get points easily. Although there must be a little resistance like RB Salzburg which makes it difficult for PSG to move up to the Play off zone. Leipzig vs Aston Villa is also worth watching because since the beginning of the season Aston Villa seriousness in the Champions League has been quite positive. And for Bayern Munich they should be able to overcome Shakhtar Donetsk with 3 full points.

Liverpool will be visiting Girona tonight and it will be a fresh start for Liverpool since they lost that chance of getting all 3pt from Newcastle but settled for a draw to get 1pt, and the game between against Everton was postponed due to bad weather condition, it will give the Liverpool side an advantage against Girona because the Reds have more resting time ahead of this champions league encounter.

Liverpool have already secured a place in the playoffs and it may be that the Liverpool coach will decide to play, which is why I will not rush to bet on this game without first seeing the squad that will play, because there is a high possibility that the Liverpool coach will rest his best players to avoid injuries. Now talking about Girona, after the departure of important players such as Artem Dovbyk, Savinho, Eric Garcia, Yan Couto and Aleix Garcia, the team has become weak, it is not the same team as last season, I think that if Liverpool plays seriously in this game then at least we will see a victory for Liverpool and 2 goals.

Agreed, and i don't see a good reason to play with the main squad against Girona.

Girona who lost against Madrid in the weekend with a very poor performance don't really have much resting period and if they some how get a point against Liverpool then they have tried their best but I can't say they will even show something positive after that disappointing performance against Madrid.
If Liverpool don't dominate this game from the start to the end then I don't think they have gotten over that surprise they got against Newcastle. The Reds are seen as the favorite even with the odd from the bookies and Liverpool have been up to the task both in the champions league and the EPL than their opponent who are not impressive in both the UCL and the La Liga. This is a chance for Slot to redeem himself ahead of their next EPL game.

Another thing to note is that Liverpool haven't lost any game since the champions league began so definitely teams would be looking to spoil that record and although many will feel that Liverpool would thrash Girona because they are somehow average compared to them but I'd like to cast their minds to when Atalanta gave the same Liverpool a shocking and unexpected defeat when they won 3-0 last season so if anything, I'd be keeping my fingers crossed because football is unpredictable.
Arne Slot drew his last away game to Newcastle, so what's to say that he won't lose this one even though they have had enough resting time?

I don't think it will be Girona that would want to spoil Liverpool unbeaten record in this season UEFA Champions league this season though we have seen unexpected result in football but not this kind Girona performance has drop unlike last season where they were beaten almost all the team in the Spanish laliga but currently there good form has drop meanwhile Liverpool in the other hand is still performing very well both in league and in the UEFA Champions league the highest result Girona can get in their home ground is draw .
Talking about Atalanta defeating Liverpool last season that one is normal as Atalanta is a respecter no team as they have been consistent both in their domestic league I won't even still be surprised if Atalanta wins Real Madrid tonight but I will be shock if Girona wins Liverpool tonight.

Now?
Or we can see Madrid again unstable because during Mbappe and Vini still can't play compact so don't expect Madrid to show the best game. I thought they were too much about Mbappe because the fact was he wasn't too great? This is supported by Mbappe who feels proud to play with Messi and feels easier when using PSG. Means he if without getting the ball from Messi and Neymar can't do anything?

Madrid fans must realize that the game will be more stable if Mbappe is on the bench for a while.

Still need adaptation so that Mbappe can play more compactly with the team and especially the combination of the front line so that it can be more solid. Mbappe's performance is not too bad even though there are some weaknesses that Ancelloti has not been able to overcome and the position of Vinicius with him, which until now has not found a suitable formation. Mbappe was bought at a very expensive price and it would be a big loss if he was benched because Ancelloti should have found a solution to this problem.

Real Madrid's performance is getting better in my opinion even though in the previous few matches they performed inconsistently. The competition in the Champions League is still open for Real Madrid as long as they can continue to perform more consistently in the remaining matches in the future.

Vini Jr would be a very big boost for real Madrid in their UCL match against Atlanta. The Madrid team hasn't been in Great form even if they had Vini Jr in all those matches but they still struggle and a loss to Atlanta may spell doom for them in the UCL this season.

Real Madrid are not the team they were last season on my opinion, the introduction of kylian Mbappe hasn't really beared fruit. The UCL this season also put every team to the test, there is no luck this time around and I think previously real Madrid has had some very easy group stage teams that always ended up with them qualifying. This new UCL format is there to test them and every other team.

Even without Vinicius, Real Madrid is still one of the strongest teams at the moment and Bellingham is still playing great and can single-handedly make a result like in the last match against Girona, when he scored such an important goal for Real and after that Girona offered almost no resistance.
The odds on Real's victory are 2.6 and it's been a long time since there were such odds and if you combine it with Liverpool's victory with odds of 1.45, you can get a very good final odds.

Atatalanta have a good streak of games without defeat, but Real are known for being able to beat any team that seems impossible to beat, like Manchester City last season.

Odds @2.6 for Real Madrid's victory is quite risky to bet on, I think we shouldn't be tempted just because we see the odds for betting options.
Now let's be realistic, seeing the strength of both teams in the last few matches, there is clearly a difference in performance between Atalanta and Real Madrid right now, Atalanta who are in their best form and Real Madrid who are slumping and have not been able to fully recover until now.

Atalanta will play at home, so I think they have a greater percentage of being able to win the match or hold Real Madrid to a draw.

And for Vinicius' absence, it is indeed very influential, it must be admitted because Mbappe cannot fill the void that exists and for Bellingham he has a different position and task, so you can't just rely on Bellingham to cover the void in the front line left by Vinicius.

Real Madrid are the most successful club in Champions League and their winning mentality here is undeniable. In Champions League, other clubs have to be fearful when playing with Real Madrid and they only can know that they win after the final whistle of the referee. Many times, Real Madrid made amazing and unbelievable comebacks to end matches with either draws or wins after letting their opponents leading too far with two or three goals.

Vinicius will help Real Madrid having more powerful, flexible and dangerous attacks that can help them beating Atalanta, that are certainly not an easy opponent.

Atalanta are threats of every club in this season, and they proved that their Europa League title and a big win in that final against Leverkusen are not lucky. They are strong, play well and deserve that title, and in this season they are playing even better than last season performances.

There are 2 matches I will watch tonight.
Girona - Liverpool and Brest - PSV.

Liverpool continues without losing points and if they win this match, they will make it 6 out of 6 and have 18 points.

Brest are bad in their own league but they made a good start here.
PSV made a great comeback in the Shakhtar match and won the match 3-2, it was a very enjoyable match, everything happened after the 87th minute.
PSV is the favorite of this match.

Atalanta is among the worst opponents you would want to be facing in Real Madrid's situation. They have won their last 9 consecutive games and didn't lose a game like forever. The odds aren't worth a bet I guess because the bookmakers have long realized that this is a 50/50 game in a best case scenario for Real Madrid. I think Atalanta has an advantage here. AC Milan now literally had no chance to beat Atalanta. They are not playing their best, but still when AC Milan can only have 2 shots on target in the whole game, that's not a lot.

Since Atalanta is one of the best counter attack teams currently and Real Madrid has to win that game because another loss would put them at serious risk in the Champions League, I think this is a game that perfectly plays into Atalanta's cards.

In the last meeting between the two teams in the European Super Cup, Real Madrid managed to beat Atalanta with a score of 2-0. Now the condition of both teams is very different, Atalanta is in the right momentum, Gian Piero Gasperini managed to lead his team without defeat in the last 14 matches, even winning the last 9 matches in a row. Meanwhile, Madrid are in poor form, they have only managed 4 wins and 4 losses in their last 8 matches.

In my opinion, this will be a different match than the last European Super Cup. In addition, Real Madrid are looking for a win to maintain their chances of qualifying for the last 16 through the play-offs, but Atalanta are favorites in this game because they will act as hosts and have the momentum of being unbeaten in the last 14 matches.
